Korean Street Food with Friends

I've been friends with Aritz from the Basque Country for almost 2 decades. Wow I can't even believe I just wrote that.



We first met when he came to my hometown in 1993 as an exchange student to attend my high school. Late in the summer, a week before our senior year began my Spanish teacher at the time asked me to show him around town. I picked him up in my 1985 Chevy Cavalier 4 speed, and offered him a cigarette. The rest as they say is 'history'.

We've kept in close contact over the years, visiting each other when we can. I lived with his family 2 years after he attended my high school, and his father gave me a job at the family run factory that summer.

Nowadays, Aritz has business all over the world, so naturally I made time for him during his stopover in Korea recently. The above video was one of the only evenings out we had together while he visited.

Author's Note: The entire movie above was shot on my I-Phone 4.

U.S. Constitutional Rights

This may be something only Americans are concerned with, but it's something all Americans should know about and do: Record the police when you are pulled over!



I'll be home this summer traveling from NY out to california and back, and there's a very good chance I may be pulled over. When that happens, guess what I'll be doing.

Keep the faith.

Daniel DG Kim

Daniel Kim is a Korean-American gyopo from Korea and Texas who made his debut on KRTV.tv yesterday with a bang. I had been stalling on editing his short piece for a number of reasons, but mostly because I just have a lot of projects on 'back order'.

Below is Daniel DG Kim's piece working in collaboration with Zal Slim in our Fall 2011 Fashion Modeling Shoot.



Daniel has been pursuing professional photography since arriving back to Seoul after more than 20 years living in the U.S. His work is phenomenal. Best of all, he bridges the gap between western native English-speakers, and Korean speaking Koreans because of his bilingual ability. His bilingualism has proven to be a true asset to his photography career in Korea.

Below are a few of his finalized photos from the fashion shoot, all courtesy of Daniel DG Kim.

How cool is Project Glass?

What will the future hold?

As we inch deeper into the 21st century, the rate at which technology advances is speeding up. Don't take my word for it, it's true.



This video exemplifies only the beginning. Realistically speaking, technologically advanced glasses such as those in the video will be so old news, say, 20 or so years from now.

Pretty exciting stuff.

Keep the faith.

Jesse Day

My very first interaction with Jesse was when he requested me to turn off the camera. Ever since them I've been doing nothing but recording him.

We hung out this past Sunday when he agreed to interview with me about the Canadian perspective on the American Dream. I became originally interested in Jesse when I found out that he wasn't teaching in Korea at all, and has been supporting himself as an actor here for more than 2 1/2 years!

I had no idea how fluent he was in Korean until afterward when we were kickin' it socially.

Check out the following video and prepare to be impressed.



It's always a good thing to see an expat as fluent in Korea as he is.

Keep the faith.
